Tour de Fat in Tempe, Arizona

September 17, 2013

It’s that time of the year again, when the Tour De Fat stops in Tempe, Arizona. New Belgium Brewing Company, widely known for their most popular beer, Fat Tire, sponsors this unique bicycle parade and festival in several cities throughout the United States.

Participants dress in colorful costumes, ride bikes throughout the city streets, and enjoy music and eclectic entertainment, as well as a variety of New Belgium’s beers. This event is free, however all merchandise and beer sales benefit local bicycle nonprofits with the goal to “make 12 U.S. cities better places to ride a bike.”

Tour De Fat comes to Tempe on October 5th, but Tempe Mission Palms encourages you to make a weekend of it! Enjoy our “walking distance” proximity to the events all day on Saturday, but also the electric entertainment of famous Mill Avenue all weekend long. Tempe Mission Palms is proud to partner with New Belgium Brewing Company to bring you a special rate of $119 per night from October 4 – 6, 2013.
